"In /etc/init.d/airtime-liquidsoap I removed --nicelevel -15 from the parameters and restarted the service with $ sudo invoke-rc.d airtime-liquidsoap restart"
Then things starting syncing up again instead of it saying "Getting information from the server" forever in the Airtime UI. I am not sure exactly why I had to make this change, however.
Hello Alex, i have a VPS hosting plan (Debian Linux)in dreamhost and i have several websites up and running, my concern it is if i can install airtime in the same VPS without causing a problem with my current sites. How can i access to the linux shell to follow your steps?. Thanks for the Post, i am totally desperate to have airtime working. Thanks again!!
Hi Andres, Airtime uses a virtual host configuration so it is possible to run alongside other websites on the same virtual server. However if you have current websites in production I would suggest running Airtime on a separate VPS or dedicated server, just to prevent the risk of downtime.
If budget is an issue, I would suggest running something like Virtualbox with a Debian wheezy image on your desktop machine and getting familiar with Airtime installation that way, before attempting to install on your web server.
Hi Jose, it seems like your server does not have any sound support, this suggests you may be running a custom kernel. What does the output of the command:
Hi Jose, that would appear to be a custom VPS kernel which may not include sound support. The Debian package of Airtime depends on various packages which expect that sound support to be available.
If you want a trouble-free way of running Airtime on an virtual server, I would recommend Airtime Pro as Albert suggests above. See https://www.airtime.pro/
Hi Jose, the Airtime Pro costs are not just for streaming, they also include maintenance of Airtime servers, storage and live help. The Starter package is for 2 streams with up to 40 concurrent listeners each, so 80 concurrent listeners, not 40 listeners in total.
Some streaming-only packages may be cheaper, but that's not a direct comparison. If you were to run your own Airtime server, pay for hosting, storage, bandwidth, specialist support and a system administrator with broadcast experience, I really doubt it would cost less!
